I think that is your interpretation alone Derek. I don't know of anyone who wouldn't be willing to pay a full licence fee for a full and equitable service. I know I would!

Peter wrote "We are not equal, we can't see the pictures." But audio descriptions gives access to visual information. A sighted deaf viewer is not able to hear, so is offered subtitles, but still pays same fee as the hearing/sighted viewers. Sighted deaf have a good fair argument to have 100% subtitles, they can say "We pay, so we should have it" Blind people seem to be saying: "we want audio descriptions, but we are not prepared to pay for it" Fair enough, so why should the rest of the TV viewers subsidise the blind?
